End the Cycle of Defeat
“Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; for we walk by faith, not by sight. We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.” (2 Corinthians 5:6-9 WEB)
This world goes by sight—only believing what it can observe by the five senses and man’s tools.
However, we who are of faith trust God’s word and know that there are spiritual realities that our minds cannot comprehend. Even though we cannot see it, we believe it to be real.
Every moral failure or repeated sin cycle can be traced back to neglecting prayer and meditation on God’s word.
It is a result of feeding too much on the world, such that you trust the five senses and are steered by the flesh.
If you feel burnt out, spiritually sluggish, and depressed, you can fix it by drinking lots of the water of God’s word. Let it rehydrate your soul and refresh you.
Instead of crashing from one ‘I’m sorry Lord, please forgive me’ cycle to another because you are low on spiritual fuel, why not fill up your tank until it is full?
It is time to pray and meditate on God’s word. Talk to Jesus, and see Him in the Scriptures. The power for a Christian to prosper in all things, be healthy, and have a prospering soul, comes from constantly receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
It cannot be overemphasized. In order to walk in faith, we must feed ourselves with faith-food: God’s word.
Maybe you have grown accustomed to the taste of the world’s food. It has a menu of entertainment to tickle the senses and indulge the cravings of the flesh.
But God’s word is true, rich food that nourishes you. It is sweet like honey because God’s promises towards you are so good. Eat it every day, just like you take meals at regular timings!
Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord! Become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this reward, daily devotionals by email, and also all my eBooks.
